Williams Lake Airport guide

Williams Lake Airport (IATA: YWL, ICAO: CYWL), also called Williams Lake Regional Airport, serves the Cariboo region of central British Columbia. It sits about 7.8 km (4.8 mi) northeast of Williams Lake at an elevation of 941 m (3,088 ft). The City of Williams Lake runs the airport.

One asphalt runway, 12/30, serves the field. It measures 2,123 m (6,966 ft) in length. The airport is a regional facility with scheduled flights to a single destination, Vancouver.

Pacific Coastal Airlines and Central Mountain Air both fly the Vancouver route. Pacific Coastal has offered about 20 flights a week on this route in the past, so the airport gives the Cariboo a direct link to the province's main hub. The terminal is small and provides basic services such as ticketing, baggage handling and seating, with limited food and retail. Published traffic data is thin. The last aircraft movement count on record is 13,854, from 2010.
